Hearing this, Liu Yunxi snapped to attention. She hurriedly sat up in bed and started straightening her clothes. With her help, they quickly tidied their disheveled attire.
Then, they both sat up straight and began to seriously discuss matters concerning the wasteland. Just as they started to speak, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a frantic Hu Jing rushed in.
When Liu Ergou saw Hu Jing, he barely reacted, merely glancing at her from the corner of his eye.
"What do you want, Hu Jing?"
Facing Liu Ergou's question, Hu Jing replied, panting heavily, "What else could it be? Something huge happened at the wasteland, and you didn't even tell me!"
"You know my corn is planted in that field!" she exclaimed, taking a few more heavy breaths. "Phew... I was in the city for the past couple of days getting corn seeds, so I wasn't home! I heard people talking about it the moment I got back to the village. When I heard what happened, it scared me to death!"
